a Post-patient collimator b Prepatient collimator c Shape of the x-ray tube d Material of the target 36 Why is the Post-patient collimator is used? a Decrease scatter and set slice thickness b Decrease noise c Increase sensivity d Decrease rad dose to patient 37 Post-patient collimators set slice thickness except in? a Gated CT b SPECT c Multi-slice CT d Limited scans, such as hands and feet 38 Slice thickness is is between ____ to _____ a 0.1mm to 10nm b 0.2mm to 20nm c 0.3mm to several nm d 0.4mm to 40nm 39 Slice thickness has no determination on whether a lesion can be seen? a True b False 40 Adaptive Array detector is used in? a CT b Multi-slice CT c X-ray d MRI 41 Adaptive array detectors allow varying mm detectors to be turned on or off to set slice thickness. a True b False 42 There can be individual detectors that can be grouped or combined to create varying slice thickness. a True b False 43 Advantages of Thinner collimation. Which of these is not correct? a Less volume averaging b Better resolution on sagittals and coronals c Increased spatial resolution d Fewer streaking artifact from high density objects e None of these 44 Disadvantage of Thinner collimation. Which of these is true? a Increased noise due to less photons per slice (quantum mottle) b Increased scan time (thinner slices = more slices needed per area of body) c Results in more slices based on reconstruction slice thickness setting chosen d All of these Feedback 9 They are discrete(unchangeable energy). 10 They produce variable energies from 0 KeV to a max defined by the maximum voltage or peak voltage applied between the filament and the target. 28 They appear white 39 it sets the frames to determine whether a lesion can be seen.
